I recently met with the Sandhill Road based partner Craig Jones. Turns out we were too early stage (they only deal with companies that have booked $5M in revenue). However, he took the time to provide valuable feedback on our pitch. I made a number of changes based on his comments. He also provided several referrals which I am following up on...overall a very positive experience (except for the part about not getting the money)

Why do they exist" To torture entrepreneurs." Vandervelden is the most arrogant, worthless VC I've run across. Met with them several times, including a trip to Boston and still didn't have the courtesy to give us any feedback. Luckily, we raised $ from a top notch VC and didn't need them. But I feel sorry for the ones that do take $ from them.
